About Erin
Erin Eiland is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California who helps families and parents manage stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, and parenting challenges. She works with people facing depression, trauma, ADHD, anger, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. Her style is down-to-earth and goal-focused, with attention to what a family actually needs day to day.
Erin draws on practical approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, and client-centered techniques. She uses those tools alongside art-based activities when helpful for children or teens.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around each person’s strengths and what fits their routine. Before her current work she provided individual and family therapy in foster care and adoption settings, including support in homes and at school. That background informs how she thinks about attachment, blended families, and adoption-related concerns.
She has eight years of experience overall and holds California license CA LPCC 13061. Therapy sessions aim to build clear skills for communication, emotional regulation, and problem solving. Erin often teaches specific coping strategies and works with caregivers on practical ways to support children.
Parents can expect conversations that include concrete steps to try between sessions. She approaches each family collaboratively and adjusts plans as needs change. If a parent prefers hands-on activities, talk-based work, or a mix of both, sessions are adapted to match those preferences.
Approaches that translate to online family work
Erin often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help families spot unhelpful thinking and practice different reactions. CBT is practical and focused, which can help with anxiety, depression, and behavior concerns.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationships and early connections affect current behavior. This approach helps when attachment issues, adoption or foster care histories, or blended family dynamics are a concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Erin will work together with parents and caregivers to choose methods that match goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as problems change or improve.
Online sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules. These formats make it easier to include caregivers, hold shorter check-ins, or use in-the-moment support when issues arise at home or school. The variety of options supports flexibility so families can pick what works best for them.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
